Read the story

Tesla plans an additional Cybertruck production shift, Elon Musk said on November 7. The aim is to complete outstanding orders.

Musk said the backlog exceeded what Tesla could make before the planned removal of the line.

The change is expected around June or July 2027 to expand Cybercab production. These are plans, not completed changes.

   1. To reduce Cybercab production
